I don’t feel as though I’ll ever have normal energy again. It’s been a tough few months for me- my DP has been very ill ending up with him being in hospital for 3 weeks over Christmas. He’s home and on the mend now but it was a really difficult time trying to balance working full time and seeing him every day as well as lots of phone calls from him every night when I was trying to sleep. ( he was very confused at the time). Our families are not in this country.I had a cold and laryngitis for a while then but kept going . Last weekend I came down with some horrible viral infection- fever, hacking cough, nausea. Not had any sleep at night since Sun because of coughing, I think I’ve torn muscles in my abdomen coughing and I’m in so much pain and shattered.
i haven’t been in work this week and I hate taking time off sick. I have the ingredients for a shepherds pie but it seems insurmountable to cook dinner,
How can I get normal energy back? I usually eat quite well although have a sweet tooth. I rarely drink ( last time I drank alcohol was in September) . I don’t smoke. I’m 49 so probably peri but I have never felt so broken with tiredness
